Description: The Bull Shark (Carcharhinus leucas) is a fascinating marine creature that is often associated with other dangerous shark species such as the Tiger Shark and the Great White Shark. These sharks are known for their presence in tropical and subtropical waters around the world. The Bull Shark is characterized by its adaptability, as it can thrive in both saltwater and freshwater environments. In many regions of Africa, Central and South America, the Bull Shark can even be found inland in lakes and rivers. With an impressive length of up to 350 cm and a weight of around 230 kilograms, it is one of the most robust sharks. Its confident behavior and low flight distance make it a formidable underwater predator. Bull Sharks feed on a variety of prey, including mollusks, rays, crustaceans, bony fish, and even other sharks.
